1822 Fitness was a no brainer for my son Alan, I had trained here myself and knew the level of impact the 1822 Team has. God definitely put us in the best place! Because Alan has autism, I was skeptical but something definitely had to be done. Alan was overweight, difficult to manage... added to the sedentary lifestyle and isolation due to being on the spectrum. It was no small feat to manage, go out, share with others.The constant work, drop by drop, and the time and patience of his coaches made the world of a difference. THANK YOU ALL!
1822 Fitness was a window that opened not only for him, but a giant door to show him and all of us who love him that, with love, perseverance and a lot of technique we can achieve greatness. By maintaining an adequate weight, integration, empathy and support we seek for our wonderful children, during this journey called life.
Thank you for making what seemed impossible, possible; the improvements and change that my son Alan needed. I always tell those who ask me the meaning of this place for me, and I can only say "it was one of the most therapeutic things Alan has achieved in this country."
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! God bless you, such a beautiful work!
